Why?



You left without saying goodbye to me,
Wish I could see you once more
I asked GOD, why or why father?
You left my heart broken and sore.

GOD whispered to me that we are all here for a reason,
And Daddy's time was well spent,
He's now with me in heaven
Where all my angels are sent.

Although you cannot reach out and touch him,
You'll feel him in your heart
That's the pain you'll feel my child,
Now that your destinations are apart.

Follow in your Dad's fruitful footsteps,
And always remember you'll reap what you sow,
For those are the angels that make to heaven
It's where your Dad went, now you know.
